After United and Everton got Sunday’s events underway earlier, we now have three more matches to focus on before another international break is thrust upon us. First up, the league’s last two unbeaten teams go head-to-head at the Bridge, as Chelsea take on Arsenal in one of a couple of 2.05pm kick-offs.

All eyes will be on Cesc Fabregas as he plays host to his former club but from a Fantasy perspective, we’ll be looking for Diego Costa to continue a record that has seen him score in every home appearance so far. Danny Welbeck will also be on many a radar as the Gunners prepare for an outstanding run of fixtures from Gameweek 8 onwards.

Elsewhere, Mauricio Pochettino faces a tough task to derail the Southampton bandwagon as his former club roll up to the Lane. Spurs have failed to score in each of their last two home matches and face the top-flight’s meanest backline – the likes of Ryan Bertrand, Dusan Tadic and Graziano Pelle all carry strong form into this one and have the upcoming fixtures to flourish further.

Later in the day, The Hammers welcome QPR to Upton Park in the final match of the Gameweek. Big Sam’s side have impressed in the final third in recent weeks, with Stewart Downing’s new central role and Diafra Sakho’s clinical finishing making them the standout options for the hosts right now.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

  5. Djerbil
    • 15 Years
    12 years, 12 days ago

    1. Wouter
      • 12 Years
      12 years, 12 days ago

      Why did you put Terry on the bench?

      1. Djerbil
        • 15 Years
        12 years, 12 days ago

        it was a decision between Terry and Bertrand and everyone has Saints' defender compared to Chelsea

    4. Professor Abel X
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      12 years, 12 days ago

      I heard them announce Hazard as MOTM what happened?

      1. Demí
        • 15 Years
        12 years, 12 days ago

        Hazard was announced by Smith, but Shreeves gave it to Fabregas during the interview. I imagine both will be settled as wins

        1. Professor Abel X
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          12 years, 12 days ago

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            12 years, 12 days ago

            thanks. absolutely thrilled. how's this for a front 7?

            Siggy (10), ADM (13), Hazard (11), Sterling (5... meh)
            Aguero (7), Naismith (8), Costa (16)

            1. GREENDREAMS11
              • 17 Years
              12 years, 12 days ago

              sorry for the late reply Jarzinho but I was having my food mate and just got this, Change Aguero for Dzeko and I had the same front 7.

              1. Jairzinho
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 16 Years
                12 years, 12 days ago

                Nice! Clean sheets from Curtis Davies and Gary Cahill the difference then?

                I'm actually surprised that I haven't seen any other scores above 80. My team is hardly full of differentials... maybe Hazard, but the other option Fabregas did well also.

                1. GREENDREAMS11
                  • 17 Years
                  12 years, 12 days ago

    1. Puzzle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years

      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years

      1. Bartowski

    7. maverickga
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 12 days ago

      I don't get it, the rule says "For playing 60 minutes or more", Dier played from the 32. to the 94. minute (=62 minutes), why doesn't he get the second point and clean sheet?

  14. Rupert The Horse
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    12 years, 12 days ago

    Seems we all have very similar scores. Around the 62 mark seems average.

    1. fedolefan
      • 12 Years
      12 years, 12 days ago

      Yeah, I scored 60 pre Costa and ADM baps.

    2. Debauchy
      • 13 Years

  15. rickardinho
    • 12 Years
    12 years, 12 days ago

    How does 43 + Costa/fab bps and still downing to play sound?

    Good or bad? Predicted average?

    1. Dušan Citizen
      • 12 Years
      12 years, 12 days ago

      Little under average

    2. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 15 Years
      12 years, 12 days ago

      Not great, I don't think.

    3. Les Bleus
      • 15 Years
      12 years, 12 days ago

      Just above average overall I'd say but about average around these parts.

      1. Dušan Citizen
        • 12 Years
        12 years, 12 days ago

        No bonus for Fabregas? 😯

  18. fedolefan
    • 12 Years
    12 years, 12 days ago

    Ok, after pondering over bringing in every player who scored points or looked like scoring points and that means picking Hazard, Eriksen, Chambers, Sanchez blah blah blah and dropping Sterling, Fabregas, Clyne and even frigging Andy King, I'm going to go with 2 transfers today for the upcoming GW since I have exact cash itb:

    1) Naylor to Baines
    2) Pelle to Welbeck

  19. WHY ALWAYS MESUT?

  20. Gimli son of Gloin
    • 14 Years
    12 years, 12 days ago

    Anybody keeping Balotelli for QPR away?
    He'll probably start up top in a diamond with Sturridge and there's nobody worth getting apart from Aguero who will require a hit...

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 12 days ago

      I just can't do it.

      1. Gimli son of Gloin
        • 14 Years

        I don't want to but I think I'll save my transfer over the International break

        1. WHY ALWAYS MESUT?
          • 13 Years
          12 years, 12 days ago

          I got him out last week for Welbeck. Damn happy I did.

  21. Crouching Tiger
    • 13 Years

    Is Costa on any baps? Could be crucial for my H2H.

    1. Les Bleus

    I want to hold on to Naismith. They have decent fixtures coming up but it depends on Barkley's return. Any concrete update on Barkley's return date? Thanks.
